False Dilemma: Arms to al-Qaeda Allies or Iranian Nukes

Visiting Israel and addressing the nation’s Army Radio today, Sen. John McCain (R – AZ) insisted it was vital for the US to arm Syria’s rebels to “deter” Iran from continuing with its civilian nuclear program.

Calls to impose regime change on Syria for no other reason than to spite Iran seem to have some resonance in Israel, since a top figure in the Ministry of Strategic Affairs made similar comments last week.

McCain took the concept a step farther however by explicitly addressing concerns that US arms would end up in the hands of al-Qaeda’s allies in Syria, asking “would you rather have these weapons – perhaps some of them – in the hands of the wrong people, or would you rather have Bashar Assad prevail and then encourage Iran to further their ambitions on nuclear weapons.”

Of course, this is the time to point out that Iran is not making nuclear weapons, and the IAEA continues to confirm the non-diversion of material from their civilian energy program to any other purpose. Perhaps the more notable fact is not that McCain once again falsely accused Iran, but that he seemed so openly comfortable with the notion of US arms reaching al-Qaeda.

McCain may be certifiably insane or his Israeli dual citizen wife and friendship with the Rothschilds family and their lust for oil maybe in play here. What is insane is his ideas to arm a terrorist group and leave a power vacuum in a highly unstable region, one Israel hopes to fill with stooges. This big flare up seemed to coincide more or less with a massive oil find in the Lavant basin offshore, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel. McCain is always calling for Arab or Muslim blood. I'm tired of it. Send him to home for the elderly with dementia. It is all he is fit for.

Syria has always been the key to an invasion of Iran, it is the flank of the main supply route into Iran from Turkey for any land invasion. Iran has mini submarines that are very effective in the waters of the Gulf and the Indian ocean, Unless Syria is in US friendly hands such an invasion is impossible!

He was never very bright to begin with, graduating from the Naval Academy at the bottom of his class. Then there was his extended stay in North Vietnam in the Hanoi Hilton. And then there was his entry into politics, always a brain-deadening exercise in the USA. By this time, it'd be a miracle if the man has two brain cells firing.
